                        Russian nosecone color

                        Hi,
                        Do you know if there's an FS color that matches the nosecone's green of russian planes such as old's Sukhoi's and MiG's?
                        I just found a paint (Aeromaster Radome/hub Green) but I have no luck finding this brand on my LHS.
                        Any other brand that may match this color?
                        Thanks

                        You probably aren't going to find an FS color that matches anything Russian. FS stands for "Federal Standard" and is the US federal standard colors. You can probably find the color you want, but I don't think it's going to have an FS equivalence. Stranger things have happened though, so I could be wrong.

                        well curiousity got the best of me and I went out and looked... the FS number is: FS34128 ... Vallejo sells it as Flat Green, Humbrol colors it is number 131, several websites said RLM 83 is the shade (available through many paint makers including MM)

                        I just looked at this website and "Color of Eagles" acrylics is actually part of Aeromaster paints so that might be a good bet - order RLM 83 by Color of Eagles paint from www.greatmodels.com and it sounds like you will be ok!

                        the website:

                        Thx Scott & Tom.
                        I knew that FS is 100% about US military colors, but a friend told me that probably there'd be a close color that match the russian one.
                        I remember have seen the RLM 83 on Polly scale and MM at LHS.
                        Thank you guys for your help.
